Why IN Artist Turned Perfectly Green with

An eminent French art collector once

much pride in his purchase, to an artist

me a man or woman on that road that

SILOS AND ENSILAGE.

| Practical Description Of the New Method o.
Preserving Green Fodder.
Ensilage is a system of preserving
green fodder for cattle during the win
ter mOnths-a system that is manifestly
of great benefit to cattle.
1t is accomplished by taking greer
fodder-say corn-cutting it up in fin.
/ pieces and preserving it from all con
tact with air until wanted for feed
The chopped fodder is called ensilage
and it is preserved in building called
a silo.
A practical silo can be made by ex
cavating to depth of six feet and add
ing a top of six feet in height. The
bottom and the sides to the height Oi
nine feet should be built of stone and
plastered smooth. The bottom should
be cemented like cistern.
Cement may be substituted for plas.
ter on the walls if the ground is par
ticularly damp, as all moisture must be
excluded. The silo should be eight
feet wide and twelve feet long.
A silo of this size will contain 864
cubic feet of ensilage, CT about twen.
~ tons of feed. The frame por.
ton of the building above the walls
must be made of matched and surfaced
boards, and well put together.
Such silo can be best filled with
fodder corn. The corn should be cut
when the ears are in about that state
best adapted for "roasting ears" II
should be run through fodder cutter
and cut into pieces about half an inch
long. As it is passed into the silo,
boys or men trample it down into tn
closest space. When filed to the top, S
thick layer of builders felt is placed
on the ensilage. This, in turn, il
covered with six inches of straw. On
the straw plank fitted to ill the space
are laid, and then weighted with stone
about 100 pounds to the square foot
Thus prepared the ensilage will remair
sweet and unfermented du-ing the
entire winter.
The cost of such q silo is about fifty
dollars.
When opened to feed the cattle. the
top, two inches, will be found to be
spoiled. Below this it can be cut into
with hay knife and used as needed
The boards and pressure should be re
newed every evening, and the felt
boards, and stones should be placed
upon the silo while it is being filled
after each days work. Cattle will not
like the food at first, but will soon rel.
ish it and eat it with extreme avidity.
Stock. if cows. so fed-say thirty
pounds twice day for each animal
having. of course. their ordinary grain
feed, will give One-third more milk and
butter than with dry feed. In fatten.
ing cattle ensilage will save about ten
pounds of corn in making the same
amount of beef.-S0uthern Farmer.
